This sketch looks like a busy, mixed-up dream. On the left, there’s a giant pyramid with a glowing eye on top. The word "ONE" sits below it. In the middle, a man in a hat rides a strange, wheel-like creature. To the right, an eagle sits on a cannon. The sky is a swirl of lines and shapes, like a storm or a mess of thoughts. The artist scribbled his name in the corners—*Saul Steinberg*—and added tiny objects like coins and a key. The whole thing feels like a joke or a puzzle. Look up lithography to see how this print was made.
